5. I'm sorry, I can't say the letter 'b'
C?

Yes that's right. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a spoolboy. I was attacked by a bat.

A cat?

No a bat.

Can you say the letter 'k'?

Oh, yes — khaki, king, kettle, Kuwait, Keble Bollege Oxford.

Why don't you say the letter 'k' instead of the letter 'c'?

What, you mean... spell "bolour" with a 'k'?

Yes.

Kolour. Oh, that's very good, I never thought of that. What a silly bunt!
